The morning after my second salvia trip leaves me somewhat surprised. There was no profound, subliminal meaning, no hangover, no dirty comedown. I gained nothing from the experience, but I don't regret taking that beastly rip from Z's giant, glass steamroller (appropriately named "Poppa Dukes"). I was the third of the group to take a hit. When my turn came around, I calmly took the torch to the bowl and inhaled the light, pleasant-tasting smoke. Almost immediately after I took the piece from my mouth, it felt as if thousand upon thousands of pins were very lightly puncturing my skin, not unpleasant as it sounds. Think of having a leg fall asleep, then apply that feeling to your whole body but not as viciously. I put the steamroller on the desk in my room and found a comfortable spot on the bed, across from D. I soon felt the urge to lay on my back, so I did so. I began staring at the ceiling and for some reason, I began concentrating very heavily on one of the unlit lightbulbs hanging above me. The room began to darken and hints of color swirls began showing themselves. At this point, M came into the room and closed the door behind him, blocking the light that was coming from the living room. D blurted out, "Where's the lighter?" but I didn't catch the 'er' and only heard 'light'. So I replied, "Out there." This exchange repeated itself about two more times before everyone in the room bursted out in an uncontrollable, almost maniacal fit of laughter. We couldn't stop to take even the smallest breath. I felt so free during those few moments, no restraint whatsoever! The trip began to die down at that point, so I stood up and noticed an intense hunger (the other noticed this, as well) and began making my way to the kitchen. As I stepped out of my room, I began to feel somewhat dizzy and very lightheaded, as if I had just guzzled a quart of cheap beer and fallen down a long flight of stairs, but felt nothing of it. Just a fun, 'I'm disheveled!' feeling in my mind. When I glanced at the clock in the kitchen, only ten minutes had passed since I first pressed the pipe to my lips.
In short:
Salvia is definitely a fun experience, but I refuse to pay forty dollars for a gram of the 10x. I'll only do it if someone else is offering.
 
you shouldn't use salvia in a group setting like that IMO. also, concentrating on this, or looking for things to hallucinate at, or whatever you call it, is a trait of other hallucinogens. just don't focus on anything, lay back, close your eyes maybe, and it will all come to you.
the pins and needles feel i also get, and you described perfectly.
40$ for a gram of 5x is pretty bad too. if you do have anymore experiences with this, try to see if you can get a cutting, then you can make your own 10x with a bit of acetone and a glass jar.
you can do the same with plain leaf off of the internet.
good luck if you try it again ever.
 
Shrug. I've always refused to pay for salvia, that's probably why I've only done it twice. But yeah, I'd much rather just get an ounce of the leaves and do the extraction myself...
 
Actually, I feel the same way when I do Salvia. That is almost always how it is for me, but I have had some life-altering experiences that immediately followed my whole body going numb

i got a complimentary bag of leaves when i bought a gram of the 10X from [ www.nosources.com ] a good while back, and barely smoked any of it. it just wasn't the same as the extract. acetone and a glass jar, you say? how much acetone do you use? does it matter that the leaves are dried?

I wouldn't call salvia "definitely a fun experience," but it is an interesting one. IMO, the reason you were disappointed was that you used improper techniques. I went through an entire gram of 10X and got only weak experiences like yours. Once I broke through, though, DAMN.
I would not smoke with a large group like you did, and kick out the people who are going to talk to you during the trip (like the jackass who asked for the lighter). Noises, especially voices, are usually enough to bring me out of hyperspace. Also, don't stare up at the ceiling and expect to trip out on something. The open-eye visuals from Salvia are not that impressive. IMO the best thing to do is close your eyes and let yourself sink into the experience.
 
I saw a gram of 5X for 20 bucks. Im gonna jump on that and give this strange plant a try. I should be able to get several decent experiences out of that right?
